Inversion table for low back?

[gassy]

Has anyone gotten any back pain relief from one of these tables where you strap yourself in and hang upside down?

I know people that have gotten a ton of relief from them. I don't have one of those anywhere near me so I hang upsidedown off of a hyperextension bench. It lso gives me a great hamstring stretch this way but is not very comfortable.

I started at 5 minutes per day and have built up to 10 minutes. I would like to get to 30 mins

This is grat for compression on the disks in the lower back and it gives me a lot of relief.

I have one and it helps a lot. I have had laminectomies at L4-5 and L5-S1, and the latter has collapsed and auto-fused. Hanging upside down relieves much of the sciatic pain and low back spasms that show up from time to time. Also good for stretching the rest of the spine.

I would caution you to find out what exactly is causing your problem first, and then see somebody about whether traction for it is contra-indicated.

I do that at the begining and end of every work out it works great! I also have the inversin table but like the strech better on the hyper bench.

Have one in my office

I put one in my office and use it almost daily. It takes a while to build up a tolerance for a good angle but it gives good relief. In my new office I am going to have both it and one of the beds from the chiropractors that have the rollers that go up and down your back.

Oooh! I love those! I would make my Chiro let me lay on it for an hour!

one of the better investments i have made, i have a herniated L5... i lay in mine 4-6 times a week for 20 min. i try to get in there after i get my deep tissue work done and it makes a huge difference!

i bought mine on the net for 300.00 and it is reinforced to handle 400lbs...

I recommend them, particularly if someone has DJD in the thoracic and lumbar spine and/or some sort of disc pathology. It doesn't take care of the problem for good, but it should give you good relief and slow the pathology down some what.

I'm sold. Ordering one tomorrow, thanks.
